Thanks, Lifehacker for your up-to-the minute reporting of this issue. I Googled the problem and was relieved to see this article.
Paypal has been giving me problems for most of Aug-Sept. I have had several bidders say they submit payments during this time as well. Paypal really needs to get their act together, this has been going on for too long. Its taking me forever to print labels because of all the error messages. It is costing me business, they need to compensate their users for all of this hassle!!!!!!
